The Virtual Telescope Project will attempt to image the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft as it approaches Earth.
When this survey was completed, the spacecraft got close enough to the surface of Bennu to recover material — and
in the process. In 2021, with the Bennu samples stored in a sample return capsule, OSIRIS-REx fired up its propulsion system and began a 1.2 billion-mile trip back home. and then leave the vicinity of our planet again, heading out to a different asteroid. The canister should land on the surface of Earth in the western United States in the desert region around the U.S. military's Utah Test and Training Range.
planets were being born from material leftover from planet formation. That means that studying asteroid material can help reveal the state and composition of matter around the infant sun in the early solar system. For two years after the sample returns, from late 2023 until 2025, the sample will be cataloged and analyzed,
At least 75% of the Bennu sample will be preserved at NASA's Johnson Space Flight Center in Houston for future research.
